Bible Back Story Chris Bonta

Join us as we finish up the book of Yahudah or Jude.  In interesting little book that covers a lot of ground and is as important today, maybe more important, than it was for the early Jewish believers.  It was interesting that at the same time Kepha or Peter was writing exactly the same words and warning about exactly the same things, ditto with Rav Shau-al’, teacher Paul, and others.   

 

Clearly the new church was facing a wave of false teachers and only 35 years after the Crucifixion.   Yahudah’s warnings were clear and important,  False teachers have twisted, Yahuha’s Words, lied to many and convinced them of things simply not true, and are shipwrecking the faith of many. 

 

As the day of Y’shua’s return draws nearer it becomes more and more important to understand the truth of all of God's words, not just a small part, in order to make a half-truth and sell some tapes. 

Join us as we take a look at some current hot topics and then continue our study in the Book of Yahudah (Jude).

Join us as we begin a walk through the tiny book of Yahudah or Jude to most.  Yahudah was a half-brother to Y’shua and like Ya’akov (James) eventually came to understand that Y’shua was the promised savior of the world.

 

In this book we hear the anguish in his writing as he exhorts the brethren, to earnestly contend for the faith that was previously delivered to them.  False teachers had infiltrated the church and were spreading damnable heresies to draw the brethren away from the Word of God.

 

While there had always been idol worshippers and false religions, and many had been drawn to them, to the peoples hurt, they had been outside the walls of the church and the people of God.  But now they were inside the walls teaching in the churches and many were unable to decern the truth.

 

This is a warning for the brethren then and now, the situation has only become worse today and almost everywhere you turn is someone trying to separate us from the truth of Gods Word.   

 

It is a message most do not want to hear and will make many angry, which makes it a vitally important message in these last days to hear and understand.  We too must earnestly contend for the real truth delivered by Y’shua and well before, and not believe the lies told almost everywhere.  

Join us this week as we have a quick look at why we celebrate the Sabbath and the feasts and other important days when we do, and why there should be no confusion about the dates, after a few words about this week’s Torah Portion.

 

Then we will take a look at the upcoming events of April 8th, with the Eclipse and a large number of other events happen the same day.  It is truly an uncommon day, and I will offer a few insights on some of the lessons we may learn about Yonah (Jonah) and Ya’akov (Jacob) as they might pertain to us

 

Does this signal the return of Y’shua?  Of course I have no idea, but the lessons are real and important, foremost of which is not to hold too tightly to anything you think is true, even many ideas you may have from the pages of Scripture, trust in Him only and we will be fine no matter what happens in the Heavens and on Earth, this week or next century. 

Join us as we continue to look as some of the Parables, this time we look at the Wise and Foolish builders and the 10 virgins.  We tie this up by looking at the letters to the churches at Laodicea and Philadelphia.  It is important to Understand we must be ready now for the return of Y’shua, we will not have time after His return to make sure we are right with Him, and the way the world is now He could return at any moment.

Join us as we wind up the extended look at Y’shua’s instructions and parables in Matthew 12 and 13 with the Dragnet, the Pearl of Great price, and the Hidden Treasure in the field.  Very encouraging stuff, and not always how you were taught it.  We end up with a look at who is taken and who is left, and with all apologies to Tim LaHay you might want to have another look at the parables and the book series.
